SIHH Preview: Vacheron Constantin Quai de l��Ile Retrograde Annual Calendar
Vacheron Constantin’s Quai de l'Ile collection offers contemporary design and a unique opportunity for owners to create their own distinctive example via a series of personalization options. For 2011, a new Retrograde Annual Calendar joins the collection, powered by the new Vacheron Constantin Calibre 2460 QRA automatic movement. Available in pink or white gold, or both if the customer desires, the 43mm case houses a new movement designed, developed and crafted by Vacheron Constantin, and bearing the Hallmark of Geneva. The 326-part Calibre 2460 QRA drives the hours, minutes and small seconds at 9 o'clock, as well as the annual calendar with retrograde date display, months and a high-precision moon-phase indication requiring correction once every 122 years. Equipped with a stop-seconds device (“hacking seconds”) to ensure precise time-setting, the movement runs at 4 Hz (28,800 vph) with a 40-hour power reserve. The ruthenium-plated 22K gold rotor is mounted on ceramic

best value AP chronograph?
Hello AP forum. I have been thinking about a chronograph to add to my collection since it will be too long of a wait for the ceramic daytona. I have considered the omega dark side of the moon or a non ceramic daytona (which I have already owned).What is the go to chronograph in the AP line right now that can be had preowned at a relatively good value?

I currently own a D blue and BLNR. I do tend to like bigger watches at the moment but on the smaller side is also ok.PS: budget is 10-15kusd. I am not even sure if this budget is large enough for any AP chronograph so that info is also appreciated.

Anyone here done this or know where I can get the ceramic bezel of the 15707CE and wondering if it fit to the 15710ST.The reason why I want to do this. Because I found the satin finishing on the bezel of the 15710ST very easy to get scratches and I think it looks nice with ceramic
